Indian Idol Contestant, Who Once Washed Dishes, Now A Hero In Jharkhand Hometown

New Delhi: Dreams come true if you work hard and your intent is right. Divas Nayak is the best example of that who worked hard enough to live a dream. He became a star on Indian Idol, one of the prestigious singing competition shows in India.

The journey of twenty-two-year-old Divas Nayak began five years ago when he left Dulma, a village in Jharkhand. After reaching Mumbai, he worked in a canteen washing dishes. He was selected for the Indian Idol talent show and reached the select group of the top 30 contestants. Though he could not reach the higher level of the game, he became a sensation in his home town so much so that when he arrived at Ranchi Airport for a home visit, he was welcomed by several admires.

He told IANS: "One of the three judges of Indian Idol Neha Kakkar gave me Rs. 1 lakh as an appreciation amount and asked me to travel by air."

He said that when he washed dishes in the canteen, he was told about the audition of Indian Idol by a friend. "I went for the audition and got selected," Nayak said.

Now Nayak is a household name in his district Ramgarh. At the airport, he received a great response from the people of his city who took selfies with him.

"It is because of the success in Indian Idol that I got a new job of attendant at Hinduja hospital in Mumbai," Nayak told IANS.
